If 1MDB is a national saviour, why block debate on the issue, asks Kit Siang

Veteran DAP lawmaker Lim Kit Siang has called for a full debate on the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) issue in Parliament, after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the state-owned fund had helped save money for the country.

Najib, in his “My Economic Vision for Malaysia” statement yesterday, said funds from 1MDB were used to solve issues from the “lop-sided power agreements signed by a former leader”.

Lim, in response to the statement, said: “I find it quite unbelievable that Najib has taken the offensive and instead of the charade pretending that 1MDB scandal does not exist, has gone on the attack by presenting the 1MDB as a ‘national saviour’ for Malaysia.”

Lim said if 1MDB was such a “national saviour”, including saving RM200 billion over the next 20 years over the power agreements as stated by Najib, there was no need for a clampdown on debate and national discourse of the issue.

“Let there be a full debate on the 1MDB in Parliament for a start, instead of the Speaker rejecting questions by MPs on 1MDB and forbidding debate and discussion of the 1MDB scandal in Parliament,” Lim added in a statement today.

There is a new Starbucks in town, and it also has the drive thru service, at Jalan Ampang.

But don't be deceived. It's not the Drive Thru that should be the attraction because when you stepped into it, you will be amazed. This is one fine place to chill for coffee lovers or kaki lepak.

Here is the entrance:ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOOKING STARBUCKS COFFEE IN TOWN

Before you reached the entrance, there are some seats outside arranged nicely. I assume it's for the outdoor and the smokers.

Of course, when you entered the building, you will realized it's one of the biggest Starbucks in town, or at least it gives the impression of it.

NICE AND COZY PLACE TO CHILL! AWESOME DECORATION AND VERY SPACIOUS Love the way that the decoration is being done. Nice and cozy feel...definitely will cause a lot of people to change their mind about Drive Thru and opt to drink in instead.

What
if you are on TV talking about serious subject matters such as how the market
is being affected by all these serious and big stuff like interest rates hikes,
IMF downgrades etc? Well,
it just so happen to occurred on a Monday where I had a great laugh and jokes
with some friends over the phone. So, when I was talking with my colleague,
Charlotte, I tried my very best to maintain that serious look. (I don't know how she managed to smile so graciously while every time I smile, I felt like it's super awkward). If
you watch the video, I'm sure you'll catch a few moments where I actually smile
while I was responding to the questions.

Here is the moment, at around 2:57 there. Gosh!! I feel so stupid now.

Thankfully, the cameramen are good
when it comes to playing with the angle, downplaying some of these moments.

The long-awaited "Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi" is finally out and I think any Star Wars fans would need to have a Star Wars theme on their smartphone.

If you have the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which is a matching 8 to Star Wars episode, or any Android devices, you could actually create a Star Wars theme for free basically...something that will make Apple's iPhone's users look in envy.

Here is the wallpaper that I used for my Galaxy Note 8.

It's pretty red as well since I am a fan of the Dark Side, and also the theme for the last Christmas. If you look closely, you could see these icons: phone, contacts, Chrome, Facebook, Instagram, Camera, and even WhatsApp, are all customized icons based on Star Wars theme as well...let's zoom into each of them and see.

Princess Leai in a phone booth felt like the right icon to use for phone. It's where I tap into to make phone calls.
